Deposition and Exhibits from June 25th, 1974 from the case Magnavox v Bally et al, consolidated case number 74 C 1030.
The document features the deposition of Henry "Hank" Ross, then Secretary-Treasurer of Midway Mfg (originally a co-founder). He discusses his dealings with Atari Inc. in the development and licensing of their video game products Pong and Space Race as Winner and Asteroid respectively.
Exhibits:
1 - The first exhibit showcases the notification of the deposition to the parties of the case.
2 - The second exhibit shows the contract between Midway Mfg. and Atari in licensing the game Pong for manufacture by Midway as Winner from February 22nd, 1973. This agreement was separate from the previous development contract to Atari by Bally which did not produce a desired game but would be later fulfilled by Space Race. The contract discusses the financial terms of the agreement and Midway's right to use the technology but not the Pong trademark.
